Here on my little homestead, I grow many tomatoes. This year I grew cherry tomatoes, heirloom San Marzano tomatoes (the "Italian" tomato), and heirloom Brandywine tomatoes (the Amish tomato). I ended up with well over 1,000 tomatoes from a total of 15 plants. Not bad! I eat them fresh, I can them, and I dry them. Then I can enjoy the best tomatoes all year long. A little gluten-free pasta, a little bit of homegrown tomato sauce, and I'm a happy girl!
What you see here is about 300 San Marzano
tomatoes. There are 11 quarts of whole tomatoes (10-12 per quart) and 9
quarts of crushed tomatoes (about 22 per quart). It took me about 5 or 6
days to harvest, wash, and process all of these, but it will be so worth
it in the winter! Now . . . it's time to start on apples . . . So many wonderful gluten-free foods in this world. :)
